Chapter 24: definitely screams red
COOLER
She was in shock, and I have to admit that asking her to be my girlfriend right after a hot make-out session, with her still straddling my lap, wasn't the best timing.
Ang gulat sa mukha niya ay napalitan mayamaya ng lungkot.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Sinarado niya ang kahon ngunit muli ko iyong binuksan. She made a tiny groan before closing it again, pero binuksan ko lamang ulit. We can do this all night, with her still on my lap and I'll definitely enjoy it.
Siya ang unang sumuko. "Cooler, nag-usap na tayo, diba?"
I shrugged. "That talk was unlike today's context. I could go on without getting jealous before, pero ibang usapan na 'to ngayon."
Tinitigan niya ako nang matagal. "I like you."
I smiled. "Of course you do, and I like you too. That's why I want us to be together. For real."
Yumuko siya. "Bakit ako?"
Inangat ko ang mukha niya gamit ang daliri. "Bakit hindi? Hey, stop looking down on yourself. Just say yes so I can have a valid reason to miss you, call you babe, and shower you with love and adoration."
Tila mas lalo lamang siyang nalungkot. "Do I deserve that?"
I nodded with a smile. "Of course, you deserve all the best things in this world." Kinuha ko ang singsing at isinuot iyon sa daliri niya. I felt so proud that it perfectly fit her.
Tinitigan niya ang kanyang kamay. "Cooler..."
I exhaled sharply. "You're going to reject me again, huh?"
Niyakap niya ako nang mahigpit. "I really like you. Sa bawat araw na lumilipas, mas lalo kitang nagugustuhan."
"Then say yes."
Bumitiw siya sa pagyakap sa akin at tinitigan ako sa mukha na para bang pinag-iisipan ang sinabi ko.
I smiled sweetly. "I'm good looking."
"Alam ko."
"I have a stable job," patuloy ko. "I'm not a genius but they say I'm street smart."
Tumawa siya nang mahina. "Bakit ba minamarket mo ang sarili mo? Yeah, you're all that. Ako ang problema."
Napakunot ang noo ko. "Why, what's wrong with you? You're beautiful. You're perfect for me."
Kinurot niya ang bibig ko. "Kung anu-anong pinagsasabi mo." Her hands lingered longer on my face, slowly caressing my skin. "Gusto kita."
I smirked. "Yeah, you said it like three times already."
